Do You Need Poison Ivy Treatment?

Do you need poison ivy treatment? Actually, you should have a treatment available any time you get near poison ivy. That's why I hate the stuff so much!

Most of the population is allergic to poison ivy --around 90%, most authorities say. Even worse, individual sensitivity changes over time -- so if you aren't allergic to it now, you probably will be allergic to it later!

A person's reaction can change over time, too. Often, the allergic reaction increases. If you have a small rash the first time you're exposed to poison ivy, don't assume you'll always react that way. The reaction tends to get stronger with each exposure.

That's why you should keep a poison ivy treatment handy if you're likely to be near poison ivy.
